How to choose doors depending on the lighting?

The image of our house is the result of the harmonious coexistence of different elements, and light is an important part. That is why it is fundamental to know the type of lighting that predominates in our house and in each of the rooms to choose doors properly. To do this you have to ask yourself two questions that we ask you below.

Those in which the solar incidence is in the morning, the light is more white and stable, and in those in which the incidence is in the afternoon, the tonality is more yellow and orange.

These, with the changes of tones, will cause a significant change in the color of the door during the day, including between the different doors of the same house, something not always desired and imagined.
